Sixty years ago 1t Vas the custom to
sell the public lands on credit to actual
settlers, who agreed to pay stipulated
sum at designated times. l. the pur-
chaser failed to make payment at the
appointed time, the land was forfeited
to the government, eyel If partly paid
for. The enforcement OF the contract
by the government sometimes caused
great distress to the settlers, when
through the failure OF their crops, they
had become unable to meet their obi
cations
Gen. James Findlay. at one time the
receiver of the district land Office in
Ohio, cndcarcl himself TO the farmers
by the way in which he conducted the
sales of forfeited lands Mr. Poore, who
tells in his "Reminiscences" an aneedotc
illustrative of the generals genial policy,
represents, him as gentleman Of the old
school, with a bluff manner and a cor.
pulent person, which he dressed in the
aristocratic blue and bluff.
During one season Of hard times, many
farms in Ohio but partly paid for were
forfeited to the government and adver-
tised for sale. General Findlay, in the
discharge of his official duty, attended
the place of sale and learned that spccu-
lators were present prepared to purchase
these lands.
Mounting q stump. the general opened
the sale by designating the forfeited
lands and annoucin. that they would
be sold to the highest bidder
The original purchasers, lie said, wcr,
honest men, who had failed to mee
their engagements by reason Of the hayC
times. 1t was hard for them to be thu
forced from homes they had partly paiC
for, but the law was imperative, anc
the lands must be offered
'And now," he continued, 81 trus
that there is no genticman-no, | will
not say tha,; hope there is no rasca
here so mean as TO buy his ncighbor't
home over his head Gentlemen,
offer this lot for SALE Who bids,'
There was no forfeited land sold tha
day. Youths Companion.

ACCORDING to the calendar the year
1888 viii be a leap year, beginning
with a Sunday and ending with a
Monday. There will be FIVE eclipses
and Venus will be the reigning planet.
The political prospects for the year
1888 are, the republican party will
make big leap into obscurity, the
year will begin with the Democrats in
power and end with victory for the
democratic party, and Cleveland will
be the reigning planet, who will eclipse
all the stars in the Republican sky. If
we prove false prophet, well take it

Ex-SPEAKER RANDALL in converse
tion with reporter on the Revenue
question said that be believed the
house favored the repeal of the tobacco
tax. He thinks there will be an effort
made to revise the tariff, but he sees
no necessity for an extra session.
While he earnestly hopes there may
be no financial legislation which is
likely to disturb the present satisfac-
tory economic conditions, be admits
that the revenue must be reduced
His evident reluctance to tamper with
the tariff at this stage is no doubt
sign that he looks ahead to the COM
ing presidential campaign and consid-
ers it for the best of the party to leave
good enough alone.

mong his bulk Of vetoed appropriations
is the one Of $4O,O 900 to tie state agri-

to the annual agricultural exhibitions
OF the grangers at Williams Grove.
He says there is no money to spare
for such things But when the people
ask for revenue law which will tax
the rich corporations and which would
provide ample funds for such things
he turns deaf ear to their appeals.

In reference to the opening up of
the Counellsvillc coke ovens, an &C
count Of which will be found in anoth-
er column, the Philadelphia Sunday
Times says this editorially
The fact that Frick & Co, the larg-
est firm of coke producers in the Con-
nellsvillo syndicate, have yielded to
the strikers who have been demanding
l2s per cent, advance ever since ar
bitration failed to result in their favor,
probably means that the great strike
is virtually ended after duration of
six weeks. The single thing TO be
regretted about this result is the pre-
cedent for the rejection of arbitration
which is established thereby. In all
other respects the end of the strike Is
the cause for congratulation. Many
iron furnaces and mills have been
forced to shut down for lack OF coke,
and now that they are free to start up
again work will be given to thous-
ands of wage workers who have lately
suffered for no fault of their own. If
the coke syndicate will be more reas-
enable hereafter in the latitude of
choice which it allows its employees in
the selection cf arbitrators, its defeat
will be less conspicuous next time,
